What is PNHLe?

PNHLe is an offensive stat that is used to project a player’s point potential at the NHL level and is meant to standardize a variety of leagues so that prospects can be compared from one league with another.

PNHLe attempts to equalize all leagues, age and positions so that the offensive potential of a prospect can easily be compared with others, while also projecting future NHL point potential in the prime years of a player.

The problem with NHLe

The premise of the NHLe stat is certainly a great idea. If a player jumps directly from one league to the NHL there should be some precedent set by historical values that would indicate how many points that player should project to having in a full NHL season. However, it always bothered me that NHLe never took into account that younger players in the same league would always have a massive disadvantage compared to those that have more experience and are physically more mature in the same league. NHLe only looks at the present to predict how many points in one league are equated at the NHL level.

NHL Certainty
6.0
60% odds
Odds of becoming a full-time NHL player (10.0 = 100%). Draft guideline is a starting point and should rise as the prospect proves himself.
Upside
6.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Mbuyi was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 3rd round (86th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft.

A smaller utility forward, Mbuyi is a bit of a jack-all-trades, combining solid powerforward elements with some good defensive play and some more slick offensive dual-threat ability. He can fit into multiple roles and has many important attributes in his toolkit

The 2025 OHL rookie of the year winner has started the year off on a high note. His goal scoring and shot looks even more lethal as he looks to make a bid as a first round talent for June. If he can continue this level of play and production, he will certainly hear his name called early.
